Insulating Under a Home in North Windham, CT

This homeowner in North Windham, CT called us hoping that we would be able to help her with her home. She was living in a mobile home, and several leaks occurred. Her remediation company informed her that the insulation underneath the mobile home got wet and damaged. Additionally, several places were cut in the remediation process. She wanted this insulation removed and replaced as soon as possible. This was complicated by the fact that this was her summer home, and she was looking to leave a few weeks later. 

We had the perfect solution for this customer. In this solution, SilverGlo™ foam insulation board is installed across the bottom of the floor joists with special long screws and 3” washers, SilverGlo™ is expanded polystyrene foam with graphite infused into the foam, which bumps up the insulation (“R”) value by 24% over standard EPS foam. Further, SilverGlo™ has a radiant barrier to reflect heat, so the insulation isn’t doing all the work by itself. All seams are sealed. If necessary a skirt board can be installed around the perimeter of the insulation so the edge is not visible. The skirt board may require painting after we are complete. Result - Much warmer floors, less drafts and more comfortable rooms, quieter home, lower fuel and electric bills.
